Creativity and Culture

Informacio

Definición

A world of distributed creativity, open to everyone, is possible. Internet is allowing an explosion of amateur activities in fields like photography, video, music, literature and journalism. Users are also producers. Internet is beyond the world of broadcasters. The democratization of new technologies like augmented and virtual reality will increase this trend.

Playable cities, gamification, smart crowds, all they are emerging fields that will change the traditional models of culture and creation. The new scenario is a smart and creative city, an augmented open public space. Simulation games in cultural heritage places can change the experience of a new generation of young tourists. Barcelona and Catalonia can be transformed in a global living lab of creativity and culture.
